What does the gravitational force between two massive spheres do?

It attracts the spheres toward each other. They may or may not move,
depending on what other forces act on them at the same time.

Only the earth exerts gravitional force on all object is it true?
Anything with mass include you and me do exert gravitational force but the earth is massive so it exert more force than any of any small object including us on earth. The gravitational force is done between two mass in following general gravitational law by Newton. F = G.M1m2/R2 We sum up G.M1/R2 as gravity = 9.81 m/s2 for M1 is earth and R = earth radius Between 2 man with m1 and m2 respectively, gravitational force between these two man is at F = G.m1m2/L2 where L = distance between center of mass (you and me for instance). Gravitational force is small compare to earth's gravitational force but it does exist.
Does the increase between two objects increase or decrease the gravitational force between them?
At a greater distance, the gravitational force becomes less.
What is the relationship between Earth and gravitational force?
Earth has gravity or gravitational force that attracts the moon to the Earth.
How is the gravitational force between object affected by mass?
More mass will cause more gravitational force.
Does moon have gravitational force?
Every heavenly body due their mass have gravitational force. Since the moon is significantly less massive than Earth gravity on the moon is weaker than it is on Earth.
How does the gravitational force between 2 objects that have small masses compare to the gravitational force between large objects?
If the objects are the same distance apart (center to center), then the gravitational force between two less massive objects will be less than the gravitational force between two more massive objects.
Will more massive objects attract each other with a greater gravitational force or a smaller gravitational force?
The more massive the objects, the greater the gravitational force between them. The gravitational force is affected by mass and distance. The closer two bodies are, the greater the gravitational force also.
The gravitational force between 2 metal spheres in outer space is 2000 newtons How large would the factor be if the 2 spheres were 4 times as far apart?
F is inversely proportional to r*r . therefore the force will be reduced by the factor of 16th. hence the gravitational force will be 125N.
Why is the sun the only gravitational force?
The sun is not the only gravitational force but it is the strongest, the earth has a gravitational force, the moon has a gravitational force etc. Any two objects have a gravitational force between them that is proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
How does mass affect the magnitude of gravitational force?
The magnitude of gravitational force between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses. This means that as the mass of one or both objects increases, the magnitude of the gravitational force between them also increases. In simpler terms, the more massive an object is, the stronger its gravitational pull.
Is Pluto massive enough to be a sphere by its own gravitational force?
no
The space surrounding a massive object subject to the body's force of attraction is?
The gravity from a massive body produces a force on other massive bodies inside its gravitational field.
Is the force between the sun and the earth stronger then the force between the sun and the moon?
yes because remember the gravitational forces depend on mass and distance. The Earth is more massive than the moon.
What happens to the gravitational force between two objectes if the distance between them is increased?
the gravitational force between them decreases.
Does the force of gravity increase decrease or stay the same if the object it is acting on is more massive?
If the product of the two masses increases, then the gravitational force in both directions between them increases.
Does the gravitational force vary with the distance between earth and sun?
The gravitational force between the Earth and sun certainly depends on the distance between the Earth and sun. But the gravitational force between, for example, the Earth and me does not.
Difference between gravitational force and force of gravity?
force of gravity is d gravitational force of earth but gravitational force is force of attraction for any heavenly body
